if I could please...
Biscuit- collapsed again this week, ok but needs care.
Binky - still limping after 11 days. Sort of putting weight on sort of not. Probably needs an X-ray next week (caused by Ziggy knocking her off her feet).
Ziggy stopped antibiotics 13 days ago stopped nebulising last Tuesday. Quiet today and the eye that usually goes gummy with the URI is slightly closed and slightly gummy tonight.

Jet - is ok but still not got to the bottom of his long term issues but yet again because he is alright gets pushed back to the bottom of the heap.
 
Oh geez you've been through the mill! I hope they're on the mend soon. Sending love and healing vibes to you all :hug:x
 
It's always around. I'm in a good place with my pigs and one loses the fact that some people and their loved piggies are not. Sending you best wishes and hope things get better. Dave. xx
 
Gosh :( I am so sorry, you are really getting ut through the ringer with your piggies.. They have a wonderful Mum looking after them, I do hope the tide turns for you soon. Sending healing vibes x
 
Thank you, we will get through it, I think the realisation it's been 2 months this weekend since this started and many many hundreds of £ later and I'm exhausted. I just want them all well - or at least for Biscuit my sole focus to be on making her last days or weeks the best I possibly can.
 
I know your whole life feels like it is revolving around piggies just now and that you will feel guilty about Jet. Xx
Keep strong and try to remember what a great job you are doing for them all - including Jet!
I don’t know why it is that piggies decide to become ill in multiples rather than give their owners a break and just allow us to appreciate them.
Can’t even say that there’s light at the end of the tunnel as it never feels that way when it is you that’s going through all the trauma at the time.
All sending love, hugs and healing vibes to you and the piggies.
 
So sorry about your ill pigs. I feel your pain the second Winona was off her antibiotics for uti I was right back at the vets with Wiley for her illness. The syringing pigs is never ending! They are lucky to have you, as my vet said many people choose not to address illness in pigs so yours are mighty blessed!
 
Hugs! I know the feeling well... *touch wood* everyone here is now doing ok. I've got everything crossed it stays that way now, it's exhausting when they're ill.. so remember to be taking time for yourself! You deserve it after everything thats been happening.
It doesnt end when they're better either, Brambles eating enough to gain weight by herself now and doing great poops...but I'm still following her bum around with a torch to see if I can see them actually coming from her...just to be sure :doh: they make you paranoid after a while!

Sending healing vibes! You'll get there, itll all be over and back to normal soon hopefully.
 
Thank you all, tonight is looking better. I have had Biscuit out on a towel (with my hot water bottle and loads of food) all evening and she is looking sooooo much better.

Binky is adapting to three legs - I think whatever she has done to get leg it's not good but she is putting some weight on it and is today running - and when not using it is getting by fine.

Ziggy is up and about this evening and running around. The eye is still a bit gummy but it's better than it was.

Jet has put some weight on. He has been fretting around Biscuit so hunny gave him a biiiiiigggg long cuddle and he has had this evening without her to relax and eat.

They have all gained weight today! Please let Ziggy's eye just be hay poke.
 
sounded like a fairly positive report from you!
no doubt you have eye drops for the gummy eye at home anyway?
feel I often have more meds than the chemists with my pets!
 
I've actually run out of eye drops - but I'm seeing the vet at 2.45pm for her. We will get eye drops plus whatever else she needs. But yes under their cage is a draw full of blooming meds, supplements, critical care etc.

I know more than I ever wanted to know about animal medications.
